## Resource

No other comic did Sunday strips quite like Calvin and Hobbes. They were such an important aspect of the strip that there are two books that feature only Sunday comics, Bill Watterson wrote an entire essay about them, and they became a driving force in the later years of the comic. Come join us as we talk about why these comics are so important to Calvin and Hobbes, and we highlight some of our favorites! For this episode, it may be useful to view the Youtube version for a visual aid starting at ~23:00. Here is a list of the comics mentioned this episode, along with their publication dates and the books where they can be found. We would love to hear from you!
